This was an interesting read. In my opinion at least, there are still a lot of interesting uses for crypto currencies and blockchain technology so we will probably see this trend continue for some time.

I don't believe that there should be any regulations in the blockchain space. One of the main reasons for Bitcoins creation was the meddling of the government in people's private business.

The problem with giving the government power over something is that you will never get it back and the government rarely has your best interests at heart.
